Late 70s born.
But the smell when you opened the lid of those old chest type Coke machines with the bottles that was still used then.

Great video except for the part remember the first day of school and all of the kids were excited to be there.
Products in the video brought back a lot of good memories thanks for starting this thread.

From playing football, I remember the smell of mothballs when they distributed our uniforms. I also remember the smell of Florida water they used on hot and humid days to try to cool us down.

The inside of an old VW Beetle. It had a distinct smell to it. It wasn't just a musty smell, but all VWs smelled the same. My mom drove a Beetle as did a lot of people in the 60's and 70's.

Didn't it have like a wintergreen type of smell...?
When they used it it was like minty puke?

What years, because they eventually came out with a non-toxic one kids could buy. It's the one that smelled like oranges.
All I know was they wouldn't sell it to us at K&B, my mother had to buy it.

Doesn’t smell the same when it’s about to rain as it did back then. Guess my sense of smell has changed like my taste. And a cap gun is definitely a nostalgic smell.

Rusty Nails. Every once in a while I can still smell the rain.

Scorched spray starch. My grandmother used to iron her sheets with it. Mom used to mop with Pine Sol listening to albums a lot so I often smell Pine Sol and immediately think of Hotel California.
Another weird one is red worm boxes. PawPaw used to keep a worm bed in a dead fridge. That earthy worm scent makes me think of us chasing chinquapins in the john boat.

Most of us grew up with a parent smoking in the house, non rolled down window cars and trucks. We have not real idea what anything smelled like.
I swear that every used car I ever drove or rode in during the 70's smelled liked an ash tray on wheels.
